This experience was incredible. The guide was also very nice and kind to us. I totally recommend it. Do not miss this wonderful experience.
Very good experience with Hermes, didactic and pedagogical to explain the different points of the ruins of Teotihuacan
Incredible experience the truth would do it a thousand times more! Everything went as expected and as promised! Super recommended
Hermes was the best guide - he was informative and kind. We had a great experience on the hot air balloon ride and visiting the pyramids! Highly recommend when visiting CDMX.
Ricardo our driver was awesome ! Balloon ride was flawless - once in lifetime experience with the best crew. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and down to earth. And getting to eat a La Gruta was a cherry on top. I did follow other review suggestions and making my reservations ahead of time for around 11:30am. It was perfect timing. Our best day out of our four day trip to Mexico City .
The service provided by excellntravel and the people who arranged to pick us up from the hotel, take us to the air balloon and then to the Teotihuacan complex was excellent. Very attentive, willing to serve and provide the best attention. Thank you very much. I definitely recommend them.
Went on this excursion with my boyfriend and two best friends and this was the greatest and most unique experience ever. Everything was incredible! The people, the experience, the views….everything! 10/10 recommend, do not miss this.
Elizabeth was an exceptional guide. She was very kind and knowledgeable about the history of Teotithuacán. The hot air balloon ride felt very secure, with a licensed balloon pilot. Thank you to Carlito as well, we had a phenomenal experience.
Howard gave a very detailed explanation of the Aztec pyramids. Even though he was working within a time frame, he still made sure to pause the tour so we could take photos. He was warm and welcoming throughout, and tour guides like him truly make the experience memorable.
Wonderful experience, it was 2 of us in our party. Hermes was our guide and carlos was our driver. It was a quick comfortable to the Balloon port. After a quick weight check we were able to get some coffee and cookies. We were a tiny group of 2 people so were on a balloon with a basket meant for 4 people. We took off, good ride for 45 min with great views of the pyramids and surrounding villages. After returning and looking at our pictures and buying our souvenir we then made our way to the pyramids. Hermes was a great guide, he was very knowledgeable about the history of the archeological site, answered all of our questions. The site was not very crowded, got a chance to take plenty of pictures and play with the friendly dogs who call this archeological site their home. After that we made our way to the famous La Gruta restaurant, food was satisfactory, ambience was good after which we headed back to our Hotel in CDMX.
